Why can gamma rays pass threw or penetrate solids?

Physics

levacccp [35]3 years ago
7 0
Basically gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation which means they have short wave lengths which leads to high energy and visible light is electromagnetic radiation, but longer wave length and have lower energy. Gamma rays also penetrate solids and are absorbed by them. however  they have more energy than visible light, they penetrate further.

Archy [21]

Answer:

a) 1.082 × 10⁻¹⁹C  ( e = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹C)  

b) 3.466 × 10¹¹ N/C

Explanation:

a)

p(r) = -A exp ( - 2r/a₀)

Q = ₀∫^∞ ₀∫^π ₀∫^2xπ p(r)dV  =  -A  ₀∫^∞ ₀∫^π ₀∫^2π   exp ( - 2r/a₀)r² sinθdrdθd∅

Q = -4πA ₀∫^∞ exp ( - 2r/a₀)r²dr = -e

now using integration by parts;

A = e / πa₀³

p(r) =  - (e / πa₀³) exp (-2r/a₀)

Now Net charge inside a sphere of radius a₀ i.e Qnet is;

= e - (e / πa₀³)  ₀∫^a₀ ₀∫^π ₀∫^2π  r² exp (-2r/a₀)dr

= e - e + 5e exp (-2) = 1.082 × 10⁻¹⁹C  ( e = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹C)  

b)

Using Gauss's law,

E × 4πa₀ ² = Qnet / ∈₀

E = 4πa₀ ² × Qnet × 1/a₀²

E = 3.466 × 10¹¹ N/C

What is the frequency of a wave?
Paladinen [302]
The answer should be the number, or amount, of cycles that occur in a given time. Frequency is basically Hertz. Frequency is the number of waves that pass through a certain point every second. I hope that I was able to answer your question.
Peace out!

Which of the following terms is best described as the number of waves that pass a point in one second? A) wave speed B) period C
ehidna [41]

The term that best describes how many waves that pass? It's frequency because how many waves are passed by a given point or time is called the waves frequency. I hope this helped you out on your assignment.
